By decision of the Bishops of England and Wales, Ascension Day is now celebrated on the Sunday following the actual date (which would have been Thursday 1st May). Therefore, we will celebrate this Holy Day during our first Mass of term at 11:30am at the Franciscan International Study Centre followed by our Pot-luck Lunch at St John Stone House. |

Meet up with old (and new) friends as we enjoy a Free Wine & Cheese Evening at St John Stone House around The Barque Inn. |
| During Term |
Each year during Spring Term and Summer Term, we share the Internationalism of
the Catholic Church - and the Cathsoc at the University of Kent in particular - by
celebrating our International Masses. On these Sundays, different 'flavours'
transform our celebrations. The Mass, its songs, prayers and readings are all in a
particular language; whilst our Pot-luck Lunch continues the same theme with a
gourmet meal - with the best dish of that country/region prepared for us! If you would like to help organising an International Mass, please contact Fr Peter as soon as possible. In previous years, we celebrated African, French, German, Hispanic, Italian and Polish Masses, and we hope to repeat their success in the years to come. Moreover, we also encourage groups from other countries/regions/languages to join in and to show their commitment as well! |
| Sunday 11 May |
As usual on Sundays, our Mass is at 11:30 at the Franciscan Centre, followed by our Pot-luck Lunch at St John Stone House. |

By decision of the Bishops of England and Wales, Corpus Christi is now celebrated on the Sunday following the actual date (which would have been Thursday 22nd May). Therefore, we will celebrate this Holy Day during our usual Sunday Mass at 11:30am at the Franciscan International Study Centre followed by our Pot-luck Lunch at St John Stone House. |
| Tuesday 27 May |
We are showing "Becket" - one of the great historical epics, which features one of
cinema's most legendary pairings; Peter O'Toole and Richard Burton. The story tells of the
tempestuous friendship between King Henry II and Thomas Becket. The King appoints his trusted companion to the esteemed position of Archbishop of Canterbury, believing his loyalty will give him control over the church. However, Becket takes his new duties seriously and his devotion to God soon brings him into direct conflict with the State and his lifelong friend. (Don't forget the popcorn!) |
| Tuesday 03 June |
Enjoy the music of world famous bands (on CD). Feast on Internationally
renowned cuisine (from the local take-away). Dance till dawn and romantically
watch the sun rise (over the garden fence). All this... and more... "From Eight till (very!) late..." Not at £45 a ticket... Not at even 45p a ticket... BUT free! |
| Sunday 08 June |
